Welcome to the May NHBS Monthly Catalogue, the ultimate buyer's guide to new and forthcoming titles in natural history, conservation and the environment. What better way to start than with The Mayflies of Europe! Also newly available is the comprehensive Birds of South Asia - The Ripley Guide, and A Field Guide to the Frogs of Borneo. Crossbill Guides are an exciting new series of European nature guides produced by KNNV, the Dutch conservation NGO. The first, The Nature Guide to the Biebrza Marshes, is just published. Several major titles are due later this year, including Collins Field Guide to the Mammals of Britain and Europe, the marvellous Flowers of Crete and Light on the Earth - Wildlife Photographer of the Year: Two Decades of Winning Images - both in September. There are also two new volumes in the Ecological Reviews Series which continues the publications of British Ecological Society symposia under this new series title. Biotic Interactions in the Tropics will be published in August and Biological Diversity and Function in Soils in September. One title that is definitely going to be hugely important is the Wildlife Conservation Society's State of the Wild: A Global Portrait of Wildlife, Wildlands, and Oceans - due in October. Two key titles from 2004 that we haven't highlighted previously are Nature and Culture in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Advanced Distance Sampling - both of great interest. Our Spring Catalogue 2005 is now online! After 20 years of producing our trademark newspaper-style paper catalogues each April and October, the time has come to move on and put all of the title information we provide to customers online.
